Yes we do? "software engineer" is a very common job title.

I don't buy it. Eich was hardly a wunderkind capable of carrying a browser on his shoulders alone. And in a market for engineers that currently favors labor, do you really want to be on the wrong side of the social issues that your sta

I have a hard time believing that the "free market" can solve healthcare given that the demand for it is more inelastic than pretty much any other product.

There is a great book by a marine biologist that goes into detail about these topics. It's called The Ocean of Life - The Fate of Man and the Sea by Callum Roberts. It was recommended to me here on HN several years ago, and I think t

For those of us not familiar with this particular financial product (is that even the right term?), could you elaborate on the $30+ billion dollar figure? How do you arrive at that number?

If political correctness means not making demeaning jokes about women in your code, then yes, it's absolutely mandatory. Even if you were the most sexist business owner, it should still be obvious that behavior like this invites sexual

There are dozens of cities in the U.S. that want to be the next hub for young tech entrepreneurs, and most of them have more financial options than Kentucky, which is among the most dependent state budgets on federal dollars. Additionally,

You say that like regulations are inherently bad. I can assure you that the industrial firms are not pricing negative externalities into their products unless the government forces them to.

Do you have any data that supports the assertion that liberal politics are on a strong downward trend? That struck me as odd and my (admittedly short) googling found a lot of evidence that the opposite is true.

Isn't that exactly what he's saying? That the Republicans they overwhelmingly elect generally vote for policies that damage the environment?

I would really recommend reading Eric Schlosser's phenomenal book Command and Control . I don't know who told you that about safety, but the book paints a very different picture. There have been numerous very close calls that cou

I completely disagree about the reusability of time. I live in Boston and my commute on the train is only about 20 minutes, but that's plenty of time to read a few pages or catch up on the news. I see plenty of commuters reading books

It's really not "guilty until proven innocent". Nobody has gone to prison, much less been charged with a criminal offense. The article doesn't name anyone in particular, so even if harassment accusations ruined mens&#x27

No, it wouldn't? What does a border guard know about calculus, much less some physicist's particular area of research? The whole reason this is farcical is that self-balancing search tree algorithms are notoriously based on multip

My heart is broken by individual stories like this one, but I have a hard time sympathizing with these overwhelmingly conservative areas who lectured us "tax and spend liberals" about welfare queens and bootstraps when times were

Vim, at its core, is a language for manipulating text. When you "think" in Vim, you are writing small one-off (or stored, in the case of macros) programs to do something to a text file. Once you become familiar with the basic buil

Why would you consider it a failure? And don't forget that the stubbornness of Republicans is the reason the single payer part of the law was dropped, even though that would have had a much larger effect on the cost of healthcare. Addi

I think it's more likely that Android represents a negligible share of their users than some kind of intentional malice.

For what it's worth, I certainly have. I'm not being hypocritical here.

Come on, banning Muslims was a _key campaign point_. He talked about it all the time during the primaries and the general election. So yes, I do hold people accountable for voting for this.

It's perfectly reasonable to kick a toxic person out of your community. Free speech means the government won't put you in prison. It doesn't mean that other people are required to entertain your opinions.

There's nothing more American than voicing your dissent. You are way off base here. You're also wrong about what the ACLU does.

Sama, I appreciate your taking a stand on this, but how do you reconcile YCombinator's ties with Peter Thiel? Actions speak loud than words, and so far we've only seen words from you guys. Be the change you want to see in the worl

This comment reeks of victim blaming. Nobody who voted for Trump and Pence should be allowed to escape being held accountable for what they support. If their "economic anxiety" was bad enough that they can ignore the rights of LGB
